Deadly Dozen vs Savage Race: distancia, estaciones, precio y dificultad comparados (2026-27)

Deadly Dozen is a hybrid fitness race that began with a track race in Macclesfield, England, in mid-2024, founded by Jason Curtis. In the original Track Race, athletes alternate twelve 400 m runs, called Journeys, with twelve functional exercise stations, called Labours, for 4.8 km of running in total.

Athletes can race solo, as pairs who share the Labours, or as a relay team taking turns. Alongside the Track Race, the brand runs Deadly Sprint, Ultra and Hybrid formats, a youth race, a swim edition and gym-based races, including strength and barbell formats, through affiliate gyms. UK track races are held at athletics venues such as Lee Valley, Sheffield, Middlesbrough, Bristol, Macclesfield, Edinburgh, Crawley, Liverpool and Portsmouth, and the organisers say the network now spans 44 countries. First-timers are welcome, and the movements are designed to be accessible while still demanding.

Savage Race is an American obstacle race series with events currently listed in Florida (Dade City) and Georgia (Dallas), held in spring and autumn. It has received awards from Mud Run Guide and OCR Buddy, including best North American series.

There are two formats. The full Savage Race covers 5 to 7 miles with 25 or more obstacles, including its signature near-vertical slide Colossus, ice baths, fire and mud. Savage Blitz is a shorter option of 3+ miles with 15 to 20 obstacles. Entry includes chip timing, a T-shirt and a medal. Most runners join open heats, while the SavagePRO wave on Saturday mornings competes for overall and age-group awards; there is also a SavageJR race for children and a team option. Runners who complete two or more events in a calendar year qualify for the Savage Syndicate medal. The Blitz suits first-timers, while the full race suits runners with a solid fitness base.
